This is one of my favourite Kate Rusby songs; This isn't the way she plays it - I
couldn't be bothered to figure that out - but this seems to work just fine!
C F G Am
How can you speak when you don't understand,
C F G C
How can you change what is altered,
C F G Am
How can you help when you won't reprimand,
C F G C
And how can you save what has faltered
Chorus:
Am F C G
The beasts on the wing let them fly,
Am F C G
The worlds in a spin let them fly,
F C Am G
And we will watch as they fall,
F G C
And try not to notice at all
C F G Am
How can you share what you've already spent
C F G C
How can you care for the harmless
C F G Am
How can you take when you have no consent
C F G C
We will never be charmed by the charmless
Chorus:
Am F C G
The beasts on the wing let them fly,
Am F C G
The worlds in a spin let them fly,
F C Am G
And we will watch as they fall,
F G C
And try not to notice at all
C F G Am
How can you talk of the great and the good
C F G C
When all that we hear is deceiving
C F G Am
How can we find what you never could
C F G C
Oh don't let us stop you from leaving
Chorus:
Am F C G
The beasts on the wing let them fly,
Am F C G
The worlds in a spin let them fly,
F C Am G
And we will watch as they fall,
F G C
And try not to notice at all
C F G Am
How can you speak of damnation and fire
C F G C
When all that we hear is misleading
C F G Am
We all know you speak with the tone of a liar
C F G C
You will never be one we believe in
Chorus:
Am F C G
The beasts on the wing let them fly,
Am F C G
The worlds in a spin let them fly,
F C Am G
And we will watch as they fall,
F G C
And try not to notice at all
